Zusatztext Praise for Differential Equations: Theory! Technique! and Practice! Second Edition"Krantz is a very prolific writer. He ? creates excellent examples and problem sets."-Albert Boggess! Professor and Director of the School of Mathematics and Statistical Sciences! Arizona State University! Tempe! USAA first course in differential equations lends itself to the introduction of many interesting applications of mathematics. In this well-written text! Krantz (mathematics! Washington Univ. in St. Louis) emphasizes the differential equations needed to succeed as an engineer. This work is similar to Krantz and Simmons's Differential Equations: Theory! Technique! and Practice (2007)! yet the current work adds the necessary exposure to Sturm-Liouville problems and boundary value problems for the intended engineering audience. This enables the reader access to the all-important introduction to the partial differential equations; namely! the heat and wave equations! as well as the Dirichlet problem. This text has two features that differentiate it from all others on the market at this level: the sections entitled! "Anatomy of an Application" and "Problems for Review and Discovery." The former analyzes a particular application! while the latter introduces open-ended material for further student exploration. These features will serve students well in their pursuit of garnishing the applied fruits of the subject. This text sets a new standard for the modern undergraduate course in differential equations.--J. T. Zerger! Catawba College Informationen zum Autor Steven G. Krantz is a professor of mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis. He has written more than 175 scholarly papers and more than 65 books, including the following books published by CRC Press: Foundations of Analysis (2014), Convex Analysis (2014), Real Analysis and Foundations, Third Edition (2013), and Elements of Advanced Mathematics, Third Edition (2012). An AMS Fellow, Dr. Krantz has been a recipient of the Chauvenet Prize, Beckenbach Book Award, and Kemper Prize. He received a Ph.D from Princeton University. Klappentext This book delivers a stimulating exposition of modeling and computing, preparing students for higher-level mathematical and analytical thinking. Designed for an undergraduate-level course on ordinary differential equations, the text presents classical ideas and cutting-edge techniques in dynamical systems and other areas, highlighting applications from engineering, physics, and applied science. This version adds coverage of Sturm-Liouville theory and problems, streamlines content for the interests of engineers, enhances examples, and augments the substantial and valuable exercise sets. A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption. Zusammenfassung Differential Equations: Theory, Technique, and Practice with Boundary Value Problems presents classical ideas and cutting-edge techniques for a contemporary, undergraduate-level, one- or two-semester course on ordinary differential equations. Authored by a widely respected researcher and teacher, the text covers standard topics such as partial differential equations (PDEs), boundary value problems, numerical methods, and dynamical systems. Lively historical notes and mathematical nuggets of information enrich the reading experience by offering perspective on the lives of significant contributors to the discipline. "Anatomy of an Application" sections highlight applications from engi...
